This hurts LB play. And the safeties are slow and bad. And our CBs are young and not that good CTB shouldn't be a #1 CB.
We miss Reader and Bates.
Our defensive draft picks haven't worked out.
Carter was a 3rd Round pick. Waived.
Murphy, Hill, etc are mediocre so far.
We blitz, we get beat with throws. We don't blitz, we get no pressure.
Then, we can't stop the run so we have to play 1 dimensional guys like Guy that get no rush.
I'm not a fan of Lou, but there's only so much you can do when your talent level is bad.
I have given Lou the benefit of the doubt because it was his defense that carried us to the Superbowl and since that time we have let the talent leave. Im not sure if Lou is the answer at DC right now but he certainly doesnt have the talent on defense other teams do. People keep saying he's bad and maybe he is but there is a lack of talent on this defense that would be hard for any DC to overcome.
